Contagion and Product Physicality a Study of Consumer Response to Recycled-Content Products
Drawing the contagion theory, our work investigates how consumers evaluate recycled-content products. Our two experiments demonstrated that consumers engage in a contamination-oriented thinking process when purchasing recycled-content products. Also, the physicality of both the recycled-content product and the recycled materials both significantly influence consumer purchase intention toward a recycled-content product.
